Once Melissa came back from surgery, she was pretty woozy of course, and she was in and out of awareness, often asking the same question again. The meds on board kept her comfortable, but she never was much for meds. The nurses came in and out all night to check on her, and she was awakened for a few minutes as the did their nursing thing. Their primary concern was the blood supply to the transplanted tissue. Listening to the swoosh-swoosh of the Doppler sounds was like listening to good music. She has been sucking on her inspriometer to get her lungs moving and drinking lots of water to get her insides moving. This morning she ate a little breakfast and actually got out of bed - she is sitting up at the moment! We are moving her from IV meds to PO meds to see if that helps the dizziness. She is chatting with her nurse and in good spirits. Right On!!
The nurses are awesome, and the Southern Hospitality here is amazing. Everybody is just so nice.
Its another great Cancer Free day!

Mom is so very thrilled with your progress Missie. I keep her informed of every post, email and text. She does say though that those "people" should not wake you up and should let you sleep!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! I'm so so happy that you're cancer free! I bet you'll make Guiness Bk of Records for already being up and about and off IV's! Saw Josh (and talked to him) on my way to work and his way to school! We both had big smiles and shared our joy about how well things have gone! Love you lots! Peggy
